< Hosea 7 >

1 “When I give healing to Israel, Then the iniquity of Ephraim is revealed, And the wickedness of Samaria, For they have worked falsehood, And a thief comes in, A troop has stripped off in the street,
nígbà tí èmi ìbá mú Israẹli láradá. Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Efraimu ń farahàn ìwà búburú Samaria sì ń hàn síta. Wọ́n ń ṣe ẹ̀tàn, àwọn olè ń fọ́ ilé; àwọn ọlọ́ṣà ń jalè ní òpópónà;
2 And they do not say to their heart, [That] I have remembered all their evil, Now their doings have surrounded them, They have been before My face.
ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò mọ̀ pé mo rántí gbogbo ìwà búburú wọn. Ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn gbé wọn mì pátápátá; wọ́n wà níwájú mi nígbà gbogbo.
3 With their wickedness they make a king glad, And with their lies—princes.
“Wọ́n ń mú inú ọba dùn pẹ̀lú ìwà búburú wọn, àti inú ọmọ-aládé dùn pẹ̀lú irọ́ wọn.
4 All of them [are] adulterers, Like a burning oven of a baker, He ceases from stirring up after kneading the dough, until its leavening.
Alágbèrè ni gbogbo wọn wọ́n gbóná bí ààrò àkàrà tí a dáwọ́ kíkoná dúró, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí o ti pò ìyẹ̀fun tán, títí ìgbà tí yóò wú.
5 A day of our king! Princes have defiled themselves [with] the poison of wine, He has drawn out his hand with scorners.
Ní ọjọ́ àjọ̀dún ọba wa wáìnì mú ara ọmọ-aládé gbóná ó sì darapọ̀ mọ́ àwọn oníyẹ̀yẹ́.
6 For they have drawn near, Their heart [is] as an oven In their lying in wait—their baker sleeps all night, Morning! He is burning as a flaming fire.
Ọkàn wọn ń gbóná bí i ààrò wọ́n sì tọ̀ ọ́ lọ pẹ̀lú rìkíṣí, ìbínú wọn pa lọ́lọ́ ní gbogbo òru ó sì bú jáde bí ọ̀wọ́-iná ní òwúrọ̀.
7 All of them are warm as an oven, And they have devoured their judges, All their kings have fallen, There is none calling to Me among them.
Gbogbo wọn gbóná bí ààrò wọ́n pa gbogbo olórí wọn run, gbogbo ọba wọn si ṣubú kò sì ṣí ẹnìkan nínú wọn tí ó ké pè mí.
8 Ephraim! He mixes himself among peoples, Ephraim has been an unturned cake.
“Efraimu ti darapọ̀ mọ́ àwọn ènìyàn náà; Efraimu jẹ́ àkàrà tí a kò yípadà.
9 Strangers have devoured his power, And he has not known, Also old age has sprinkled [itself] on him, And he has not known.
Àwọn àlejò ti jẹ agbára rẹ̀ run ṣùgbọ́n kò sì mọ̀. Ewú ti wà ní orí rẹ̀ káàkiri bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò kíyèsi i.
10 And the excellence of Israel has been humbled to his face, And they have not turned back to their God YHWH, Nor have they sought Him for all this.
Ìgbéraga Israẹli ń jẹ́rìí sí i ṣùgbọ́n pẹ̀lú gbogbo èyí kò padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa Ọlọ́run, tàbí kí ó wá a.
11 And Ephraim is as a simple dove without heart, Egypt they called on—[to] Asshur they have gone.
“Efraimu dàbí àdàbà tó rọrùn láti tànjẹ àti aláìgbọ́n tó wá ń pé Ejibiti nísinsin yìí tó sì tún ń padà lọ si Asiria.
12 When they go I spread over them My net, As the bird of the heavens I bring them down, I discipline them as their congregation has heard.
Nígbà tí wọ́n bá lọ, èmi ó ta àwọ̀n mi sórí wọn, Èmi ó fà wọ́n lulẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run. Nígbà tí mo bá gbọ́ pé wọ́n rìn pọ̀, Èmi ó nà wọ́n fún iṣẹ́ búburú ọwọ́ wọn.
13 Woe to them, for they wandered from Me, Destruction to them, for they transgressed against Me, And I ransom them, and they have spoken lies against Me,
Ègbé ní fún wọn, nítorí pé wọ́n ti yà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi! Ìparun wà lórí wọn, nítorí pé wọ́n ti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí mi! Èmi fẹ́ láti rà wọ́n padà. Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n ń parọ́ mọ́ mi.
14 And have not cried to Me with their heart, but howl on their beds; They assemble themselves for grain and new wine, They turn aside against Me.
Wọn kò kégbe pè mí láti ọkàn wọn, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n ń pohùnréré ẹkún lórí ibùsùn wọn. Wọ́n kó ara wọn jọ, nítorí ọkà àti wáìnì ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n yípadà kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ mi.
15 And I instructed—I strengthened their arms, And concerning Me they think evil!
Mo kọ́ wọn, mo sì fún wọn ní agbára, síbẹ̀ wọ́n tún ń dìtẹ̀ mọ́ mi.
16 They turn back—not to the Most High, They have been as a deceitful bow, Their princes fall by sword, From the insolence of their tongue, This [is] their derision in the land of Egypt!”
Wọn kò padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ Ọ̀gá-ògo; wọ́n dàbí ọfà tí ó ti bàjẹ́. Àwọn aṣíwájú wọn yóò ti ipa idà ṣubú nítorí ìrunú ahọ́n wọn. Torí èyí, wọn ó fi wọ́n ṣe ẹlẹ́yà ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
